04/09/20 - An Important Update Regarding Coronavirus (Covid-19) 4th September 2020
Holt Antique Furniture Ltd and its related Companies would like to update you on what's happening at our antiques store “Holt Antiques at Walsingham Mill” with the continued threat of Coronavirus (Covid-19).
Dear Customers...
As you are probably aware, the Coronavirus outbreak has caused unprecedented turmoil to the retail shop / High Street sector since 23rd March 2020 with all non-essential shops being forced to close. The UK Government took the decision to allow this sector which, includes Antiques Stores, to re-open from 15th June 2020, but only if we are able to meet specified criteria set out in the "COVID 19 HEALTH & SAFETY GUIDELINES".
We must act responsibly during this challenging period, to ensure that the safety and wellbeing of both our staff and customers continues.
With the above in mind, we have had to make the difficult decision to keep our store at Walsingham closed for the time being to the general public. This situation will again be reviewed at the end of September 2020.
MUCH OF OUR STOCK IS AVAILABLE TO PURCHASE VIA OUR WEBSITE (WITH NEW STOCK ADDED WEEKLY) where we are committed to maintaining our outstanding level of service. Please see:
The Management Team at Holt Antiques would like to thank every one of you for your continued support during this time.

Rare English Antique Halifax-Made Slipware Cradle, inscribed "Violet Gee, July 5th 1905", Most Probably Made In Halifax, West Yorkshire, England
- Reference : 2671
- Availability : Available Now
- Dimensions : Length 11" x Height 9" x Max width 7 1/4"
- Price : £750
Information
This is one of the latest slipware pieces we have ever bought but we had to have it!
Made in Halifax, West Yorkshire, England, this charming cradle was made to commemorate the birth of Violet Gee on 5th July 1905 and is inscribed with the very same.
With two birds peering over the hood of the cradle and two further birds peering in and decorated with an "agate-type" slip decoration, this is a real piece of folk-art.
Condition - as per images. Overall good. Loss of one of the birds head (peering in); one knopped finial to the hood re-attached and the front rocker has been naively re-attached with a glue-based substance. This item does however display very well.
We ship worldwide!
